Im new to this forum so hope this subject hasn't been covered before.
My questions is :-
Who exactly tests our Uniform / Equipment ?
We get shoes and jackets that don't keep the water out.
Pens and rubber bands that last about 2 days.
Delivery pouches that fall apart.
My list could go on .
Is it tested or just the cheapest they can get their hands on ?

Re: New Uniform / Equipment testing
I believe the uniform is tested out by The King of The Potato People or maybe a pissed leprechaun.Either way there s**t at their job.

The uniform would you believe is tested by us in trial offices!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I think the waterproofs we have are amazing.
And the shoes are real comfortable and non slip.
The trousers don't fade in the wash after the wife has washed it under 10 times and the pockets are super strength.
The shirts are made out of `quality` material and don't make you smell like a dead Yak.

P.S have you publish my photo of me up Mount Everest yet?
